Made Two Love

Hubby and I own 6 cats and when I saw this digital image from McMahon Five Designs I just knew it would be perfect to give to hubby for Valentine’s Day.

I took the easy road this time when it came to coloring the image. What I did was select two Valentine Prints in a nice soft blue and filled the images with a different print. The heart in the center was colorized using Paint Shop Pro and added a darker shade on the edge of the heart for depth. The little ribbons on each kitty have a little rhinestone bling. The male kitty has a blue rhinestone and the female kitty has a pretty red rhinestone. The images were printed on standard card stock. The Blue mat behind the images is card stock from Papertrey Ink. And the card base is made from Neenah Card stock.

To make the card I used my printer, Spellbinders Calibur, Spellbinders Grand Nestibilities Labels One, and the Silhouette Portrait for the sentiment inside the card (Hubby won’t need his reading glasses to read the sentiment :) I used a lot of equipment to make this card but it certainly made it easier to pull it all together.

About Me

I am 70 years old and married to my best friend . I have 4 grandsons 20, 16,10, 7). I'm retired and thats when my paper crafting days began. I began using my computer as my main tool to make paper crafts. I love drawing my own templates for gift bags and boxes. In 2008 I bought a Cricut die cutter and became hooked. Then I started making my own greeting cards and now most of my crafting time goes to making cards. I never dreamed that I would love something as much as I love making cards. Now I own a Brother Scan 'N Cut cutting machine and it is amazing. I love how it cuts the most intricate of cuts. Crafting just became more fun!
